### Apps

- Added deleting pods created by `DaemonSet` assigned to not existing nodes. ([#73401](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73401), [@krzysztof-jastrzebski](https://github.com/krzysztof-jastrzebski))

*   Problems deleting local static pods have been resolved. ([#48339](https://github.com/kubern...

    * or grant self-deletion permission explicitly:
        * `kubectl create clusterrole self-deleting-nodes --verb=delete --resource=nodes`
        * `kubectl create clusterrolebinding self-deleting-nodes --clusterrole=self-deleting-nodes --group=system:nodes`

* During namespace deletion some controllers create event and log spam because they do not recognize namespace deletion as a terminal state. ([#84123](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84123), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

* Fixes a performance issue ([#51899](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51899)) identified in large-scale clusters when deleting thousands of pods simultaneously across hundreds of nodes, by actively removing containers of deleted pods, rather than waiting for periodic garbage collection and batching resulting pod API deletion requests. ([#53233](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53233), [@dashpole](https://github.com/dashpole))

- Fixed OpenAPI v3 not being cleaned up after deleting `APIServices`. ([#120108](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120108), [@tnqn](https://github.com/tnqn))
